For eleven minutes the world was free from a Donnie Trumplestillskin Twitter account. A twitter employee, on his/her last day, deleted Trumpenstein’s account. (In my opinion this person should be put in the Twitter Hall of Fame.) President Agent Orange Julius Caesar Salad Dumpster Fire and Fuhrer responded with his second most confusing tweet ever (he’ll never top covfefe). His tiny fingers typed, “I guess the word must finally be getting out-and having an impact.” What the hell is that? Is that the message that will activate the robots, or the Manchurian Candidate?
The smallest cabinet member is in hot water, it’s like a teacup of hot water, for not reporting meetings with Russians…again. Jeffro Bowdeen Sessions was at another meeting where Russian contact was discussed. Carter “Walking Disaster Zone” Page has said that Sessions and George “I Got All My International Experience at Model UN” Papadopolous were at a meeting with Page where they talked about Russia. Sessions was aware Page was going to Russia and knew Papadopolous was attempting to contact Russians. Sounds like it’s time to get that little jail cell warmed up.
El Loco Presidente is off to Asia starting today. He’ll be gone until November 14th. This is our chance everyone! Let’s get to work and start building a fake WA DC. There is probably space in Kansas somewhere. We build the whole thing like they did in Blazing Saddles and then when Trump comes back, we just fly him into Kansas instead of DC. We can hire actors to play reporters and cabinet members. (I think we can even fool the whole Faux Newz crew.) He’ll never figure it out. Then, we see if we can get Prince William, or Prince Harry to run the place until 2020. Those guys would do fine, and it isn’t like they are going to get to be king in the next few years.
Okay, it’s a plan. I’ll provide the souvlaki. Let’s get to work.
Why is my page titled South of the Strait? Well I live in a far corner of the United States. I live in a small town south of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. If I was going to throw a rock across the strait it would land in Canada. I used to be an English teacher. I have worked in Westport, Port Angeles, and Sequim, Washington... and I did two years of substitute teaching in Coalinga, California.
I've moved around a lot, living in: Sterling,Kansas; Chicago; Jordan, Montana; Lemoore, California; Auckland, New Zealand; Spokane, Washington; Gambier, Ohio.
What do I write? For WordPress I used to print once a week for general comments. I wrote reviews of music concerts my daughter made me attend. (Each month she would want us to drive to Seattle to see a music group. I usually stood in the back watching weird stuff.) I also wrote about trips I have taken in Europe where I liked getting lost. I also wrote during the few months when my son was treated for cancer. (He is officially free of cancer of five years.) About three years ago I decided to stop writing blogs so I could concentrate on writing a few books. I have completed three books...or maybe four. I have now compiled my short stories poems and memoirs on Amazon. You can get it at Amazon now..."A Work In Progress"--Jon Eekhoff. I have been very close to getting a printed book called "Lost Summer" but I was never offered $1,000,000.00. (It's set in Paris, 1920's, with baseball, writers, artist, and actually true stuff.) I wrote a book about college basketball called "Laidlaw." It's kind of a mix of "Moby Dick" and a coach who is about to get fired so he takes his team out for a free drive around the West. My most recent book is "California Tales." These are connected stories about the missionary churches in California. They are sad, funny, inspiring, and odd. I had the entire book done in my head and had just one section to finish the next day...and that is when I fell 20 feet from my roof and landed on the cement. (Like a lot of men, I thought I could maintain my own roof instead of leaving it to the professionals.) I don't remember anything about my accident but I am told I was flown to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. Though conscious and responsive after surgery to remove part of my skull, I don't remember anything from my first month there. I spent another month of Harborview working on walking, speaking, and writing. That was two years ago. As a TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) survivor, I could have quit writing, but I am not going to quit. I work with the University of Washington Speech and Hearing Clinic.
So, here I am. I am married and live here in Sequim with my wife Cheryl. Our kids live in nearby cities. Writing is now an exhausting exercise, but something I plan to keep working on.
